Calligaris

Italian Smart Design since 1923

Antonio Calligaris began his small artisanal business in 1923 by producing the 'Marocca' chair, a typical wood and straw chair of the Manzano area in Friuli, Italy, with the wood and straw sourced from the surrounding area.

The furniture continued to be made mostly by hand until the 1960s when the business began to modernize and extend its ranges, building to become a global brand famous for its design, innovation and quality. Calligaris now has flagship stores in Milan and Paris, and is sold all over the world.
